My invention relates to improvement in garters made ot' leather, textilefabric elastic webbingl and nietal trimmings and it is my object toproduce an improved garter in which the leather tace portions ol? thepad will be protected from perspiration from the body ot' the wearer,thereby preventing soiling and discoloration and hardening anddisintegration of said leather' face portion.
